Topic: #! r20111125 tint2 doesn't close apps on right-click.Does anyone mind?

It's too comfy to close an app on any desk with a single click.
Tint2 did something unusually smart replacing the menu with closing the app. It was weird at first, but now I'm posting here to get this back, cause r20111125's tint doesn't work that way anymore.

Other task-managers have a menu that pops up, so you can close an app with 2 clicks. But this isn't the case for tint2. This "improvement" forces you to hunt for window corners instead. It's just not ergonomic.

Trying to correct things from the available GUI editor I ran into bugs, and I wasted minutes in vain.
The simplest way to rectify this is by editing ~/.config/tint2 scroll to the bottom and change the text to

mouse_right = close

in the # Mouse section

But it should be default in the next release IMHO. Does anyone second that ?

It is a tint2 config setting..  and you found the solution.  I do not see a need to add or change anything

There is at a minimum a 33% chance of 'winning' when something is setup on install..

I always set right and middle click to send apps to different desktops. It would drive me nuts if I closed an app while I was working on something because I accidentally clicked on tint2.

VastOne does have a point. But...

I do not see a need to add or change nything

My point exactly. The default is close.
What's the point in braking this ?

As for sending apps to different desktops, you can drag the panel items around in case of a multidesktop setup. Which is default again.

What naged me though is that this change set me up into fixing it with a broken tool.
